Haircut ladder at home: technique and advice from hairdressers

Ladder haircut is very popular. Few people know that such a hairstyle can be done at home. Before performing it, it is recommended to study the technique of its creation and the advice of hairdressers.

Every year, fashion trends in hairstyles undergo changes, surprising and attracting attention. Famous actresses and singers appear on the red carpet in a new look, showcasing the work of their stylists in a new haircut. Despite all these changes, the ladder haircut does not participate in the struggle for primacy, as it is always in demand among the fair sex of any age. This hairstyle belongs to the category of universal, as it can suit almost every person.

It looks attractive on short to medium length hair. For girls who cannot boast of the density of their curls, this option can be salutary, because the ladder hairstyle gives the hair a visual volume, lifting it from the roots. For owners of thick hair, this haircut is also suitable, as it will remove excess hair and give the curls lightness and obedience.

Some masters dissuade girls with curly locks from the ladder, since curls will hide the clarity of the hairstyle lines. In order for the styling to look perfect, you will need to use an iron. However, many girls who decided on a stepped hairstyle refuted this opinion. With curly strands, the ladder will look romantic, and due to the complex shapes, the styling will be very interesting.

In order for your hairstyle to always look good, you need to take care of it.

• You need to visit the hairdressing salon on a regular basis. Having chosen a ladder, you should remove 1.5 cm of the length of the curls every month.
• It is best to choose cutting with hot scissors, as they are able to seal the hairs and do not allow their structure to collapse.
• A couple of times a week, you should use masks to moisturize and nourish curls. If possible, you need to make masks yourself, using natural ingredients. They will not immediately be able to demonstrate effectiveness, but after a while the curls will acquire shine, silkiness and become stronger.
• It is recommended to nourish the hair roots with vegetable oils once every 7 days. It is best to use burdock, olive or jojoba. With their help, it will be possible to protect hair from temperature extremes, the sun, the hot air flow of the hair dryer and the ironing surface.

The ladder is easy to install. To work with hair does not require a long time and a large number of special products. One hair dryer is enough, which is used in a position where the head is tilted down.

Distinguished by simplicity and versatility, the hairstyle will suit the face of any shape, and will also look beautiful on any hair length. There is an opinion that it is not always necessary to visit an expensive salon to cut your hair stylishly. Some girls, after training, reproduce a similar haircut at home. The creation of steps is not accompanied by any special difficulties.

To do everything right, you need to take your time and use some recommendations from specialists.

• The choice of a haircut with a step length should be made in advance. Most often, girls make a mistake when they start fantasizing during the process. It is best to avoid such events if there is no stylist talent.
• Studying the types of hairstyles, you need to consider models with a similar face oval, length of curls and their density. When the appropriate images appear, you can stand in front of the mirror, trying on a new look. Hairpins with invisible hairpins will help to remove hair to create a similarity with the future haircut.
• Only good quality tools can be used for work. Using simple nail scissors or dull paper products can ruin your curls. Scissors can differ in their functionality, so only special varieties should be chosen for cutting hair. The price of such items can be high, but you shouldn't skimp on beauty.
• The comb must also be chosen correctly. In any store you can buy comfortable combs, on the handle of which there is a thin elongation. Due to such a knitting needle, you can easily divide the curls into partings. With the help of a comb, the strands are carefully combed and pulled, allowing the ends of the hair to be cut evenly.
• Buying a scallop scissors is an actual option for girls who like to cut their hair on their own.
• It is recommended to work only with moist curls. If you cut on dry hair, after a while you will notice that the curls are not the same in length.
• For a quality haircut, it is recommended to use a large mirror and carry out the procedure in bright light. This will simplify the process of creating a new hairstyle yourself.
• Experts advise to free the floor from carpets and other floor coverings before cutting. This allows you to reduce the time required for cleaning in the future, because the laid newspaper is too thin and can tear, letting the hair fall on the floor.
• It is most convenient to clean cut strands with a broom with a scoop, so these items should be prepared in advance.
• You need to choose a place for cutting in such a way that it does not interfere with others, and strangers cannot accidentally hurt you while working.

To do your hair with a ladder at home, you should study a step-by-step guide. The steps may vary slightly depending on the length of the hair, but the basic procedure remains the same. Before the event, you need to prepare the necessary items.

• Good quality scissors. It is advisable to use special, but well-sharpened conventional models will do.
• A scallop equipped with a special needle for separating curls. Alternatively, you can use long stiletto heels.
• Hairpins with clips for a lock of a fence.
• A spray bottle filled with clean water.

A ladder for medium hair can be made with your own hands. Before cutting, you will need to decide whether to leave bangs or not. If bangs are present, the cutting process begins with it, since the shortest curls should be the same length with it. If there is no such addition, you can start cutting from the back of the head.

• The technique of creating a haircut is based on the level cutting of each layer. Each next level should be a couple of mm shorter than the previous one. On the crown of the head, the strands will have the shortest length, and on the back of the head, the longest.
• All hair must be divided into 4 zones. For fixing, you will need pre-prepared hairpins. Two clips will be located at the back of the head (top and bottom), and one clip at each temple. If a bang is planned, it will be secured separately. If there are no bangs, the strands are located at the temples.
• The haircut should start from the back of the head. The lower area of ​​the fixed curls must be combed, slightly moistened with a spray bottle and pulled slightly upward. Then you need to evenly cut the ends of the strand at the level of the selected length.
• The rest of the curls that remain in the back of the head should be trimmed along the first strand, using radial parting. When cutting, the hair is pulled with a comb to the control strand.
• All curls that are present in the temporal zones will be cut along this strand. The process is identical: the hair is combed, pulled, cut at right angles. In order not to get confused, you should fix curls that are not trimmed with hairpins.
• The bangs are formed according to a similar principle. It should be cut at right angles (when viewed in relation to the skin surface). The shape and length will depend on personal preferences.
• When the haircut is ready, it is combed. It is recommended to choose a tool with fine, frequent teeth. When combing, flaws become visible, and correction is made. Using a trellis will greatly facilitate the process.
• If necessary, you can use thinning scissors to create a ragged effect.
• At the final stage, the hair is dried with a hair dryer and styled.

Short hair can also be transformed into a ladder yourself. Trimming is similar to an elongated men's hairstyle. When cutting, the control strand should be pulled to the side at a right angle, just as in the case of medium-length hair. The scissors should be parallel to the fingers holding the curls.

For a short ladder in which the hair is 15–20 cm long, short bangs should not always be done. There are a lot of stylish youth hairstyles where the bangs are longer than the ladder. This means that it will be longer than some strands in the hair. For active fashionistas, an option is suitable in which the bangs are straightened, and the curls on the crown are laid with the help of a modeling tool. In this way, a stylish hairstyle is created.

Long hair can also be cut like a ladder at home. For working with curls, it is recommended to use a trellis. With its help, there will be a good view, and it will be easier to make the hairstyle neat and even over the entire head.

• First of all, you need to comb your hair thoroughly. If the curls are curly, they are pre-leveled with an iron.
• Then all the hair is collected in a tight ponytail. Retreating each time at a distance of 1.5 cm, it is tied with wide elastic bands. This should be done until the hair section after the last elastic is 1 cm.
• For the first time, the hair is cut immediately under the extreme elastic. After that, they should be trimmed and the cut checked. All curls should be the same length.
• Then the hair is loosened and parted into two equal parts. It is necessary to ensure that the parting is even over the entire head.
• The ends of the curls are carefully trimmed. The haircut must be done on each side separately.
• The last step is to visually make sure that both halves of the hair are the same length.
